How Regular Exercise May Make Your Body ‘Younger’ | Live Science

Getting regular exercise may help slow the aging of your body’s cells, a new study finds.

Compared with the people in the study who didn’t exercise at all, the highly active people had a “biological age” that was about nine years younger, said study author Larry Tucker, a professor of exercise science at Brigham Young University in Utah.

To reap these benefits of exercise, you’d need to spend 30 to 40 minutes running, five days a week, according to the study.
